FAQs

How do the shirts fit?

Our heavyweight garment-dyed tees have a relaxed, classic unisex fit. They’re roomier than a fitted fashion tee without being intentionally oversized.

For a standard relaxed fit, choose your usual size. If you prefer a closer fit, consider sizing down. For a roomier look, size up.

When in doubt, compare the measurements below with a T-shirt you already own and like.

What size should I order?

These measurements are for the garment itself, not body measurements. Lay one of your favorite shirts flat and compare its width and length with the chart below.

*Sleeve length is measured from the center back.

Our shirts are currently available in S–2XL.

Because of normal garment manufacturing and dyeing variation, measurements may differ slightly from shirt to shirt.

Will my shirt shrink?

The shirts are pre-shrunk during the garment-dye and wash process, so major shrinkage should be minimal when properly cared for.

For the best long-term fit, wash cold and avoid excessive heat.

How should I wash my shirt?

To help preserve both the garment and printed artwork:

• Machine wash cold
• Turn the shirt inside out before washing
• Wash with similar colors
• Use a mild detergent
• Use non-chlorine bleach only when needed
• Tumble dry on low or hang dry
• Do not iron directly over the printed design
• Do not dry clean

Cold washing and low heat will help maintain the shirt’s color, shape, and print for longer.

Why does my shirt have a faded or washed appearance?

That’s intentional.

Our garment-dyed tees are designed to have a soft, lived-in look with subtle variations in color and texture. This gives each shirt more of a vintage-inspired appearance rather than the perfectly uniform finish of a standard blank tee.

Small differences in shade and texture are normal.

What kind of fabric are the shirts made from?

Our primary garment-dyed tees are made from 100% ring-spun U.S. cotton and use a substantial 6.1 oz heavyweight fabric.

The fabric is soft and broken-in while still feeling more substantial than a lightweight promotional T-shirt.

Are the shirts heavyweight?

Yes. These tees use a 6.1 oz heavyweight cotton fabric, giving them a sturdy feel without making them uncomfortable for everyday wear.

The relaxed fit and garment-dyed finish help keep the shirt soft despite the heavier fabric.

How is the artwork printed?

Our designs are professionally printed for a detailed, durable finish suitable for regular wear.

Because artwork is printed onto real cotton fabric rather than a perfectly flat digital surface, small differences in print texture, color, and placement may naturally occur.

These variations are normal and can complement the vintage-inspired look of many Dream Tees designs.

How can I make the print last as long as possible?

Wash your shirt inside out in cold water, use a mild detergent, and avoid bleach and excessive heat.

Tumble dry on low or hang dry whenever possible. Do not iron directly over the design.

Proper care helps preserve both the artwork and the garment’s color over repeated washes.

Are the shirts made to order?

Yes. Many Dream Tees products are produced after your order is placed.

This allows us to offer more designs without keeping large amounts of pre-printed inventory, but it also means your order requires a short production period before shipping.

Depending on the product and delivery destination, your order may be produced or shipped from different fulfillment locations.

How long does my order take to ship?

Please allow approximately 2–5 business days for production before your order ships.

For U.S. orders, standard delivery generally takes another 2–5 business days after production.

Most U.S. orders therefore arrive approximately 4–10 business days after purchase, although carrier or production delays can occasionally extend that timeframe.

For international orders, delivery times vary depending on the destination, fulfillment location, carrier, customs processing, and local postal service.

The shipping options and estimated delivery information available for your destination will be shown during checkout.

Delivery estimates are not guaranteed.

Do you offer free shipping?

Yes. Dream Tees offers free standard shipping on U.S. orders over $50.

For U.S. orders below $50, the applicable shipping charge will be shown at checkout.

Unless otherwise stated during a promotion, the free-shipping offer applies to U.S. orders only.

International shipping charges are calculated based on your destination and order and will be displayed at checkout before you complete your purchase.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes.

Dream Tees ships to the United States and many international destinations.

To see whether shipping is currently available to your location, add your items to your cart and enter your delivery address during checkout.

If shipping is available, you’ll see the applicable shipping options and rates before completing your purchase.

Shipping availability may vary by country, region, product, carrier, and fulfillment location.

Will I have to pay customs duties or import taxes?

International orders may be subject to customs duties, import taxes, VAT, handling fees, or other charges imposed by your country or local authorities.

Certain taxes or duties may be collected during checkout when applicable.

If additional charges are assessed after your order ships, the recipient may be responsible for paying them before delivery.

Dream Tees does not control customs charges or customs processing times.

Can international orders take longer to arrive?

Yes.

International orders may take longer due to:

• Customs processing
• Import inspections
• Local postal services
• Carrier delays
• Holidays
• Weather
• Transportation disruptions
• Destination-specific delivery conditions

Tracking may also update differently depending on the country and carrier.

Will I receive tracking information?

Yes. When tracking is available, you’ll receive a shipping confirmation email containing your tracking number once your order has shipped.

Tracking information may take a short time to begin updating after the shipping label has been created.

For international shipments, tracking detail and frequency may vary depending on the destination and local carrier.

Can I change my order after placing it?

If you notice an incorrect size, color, quantity, or shipping address, contact us as quickly as possible.

Because made-to-order products may enter production shortly after purchase, we cannot guarantee that changes can be made once production has started.

Email us at support@shopdreamtees.com with your order number and the change you need.

Can I cancel my order?

Contact us as soon as possible at support@shopdreamtees.com.

If production has not started yet, we may be able to cancel the order. Once an item has entered production, cancellation may no longer be possible.

Any mandatory cancellation or consumer rights that apply in your country or region are not limited by this policy.

What if my order arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect?

Contact support@shopdreamtees.com and include:

• Your order number
• A brief description of the problem
• Clear photographs showing the issue
• Photographs of the packaging when relevant

We’ll review the information and help determine the appropriate resolution.

What if my package says delivered but I can’t find it?

First check around your delivery area, including porches, side doors, mailrooms, parcel lockers, reception areas, or other locations where the carrier may have left the package.

We also recommend checking with:

• Household members
• Neighbors
• Building management, if applicable
• Your local carrier or postal service

If you still can’t locate the package, contact support@shopdreamtees.com with your order number.

Why might my order arrive in more than one package?

If you order multiple products, some items may occasionally be produced or shipped separately.

This can happen when products are fulfilled at different facilities or require different production processes.

One part of your order may therefore arrive before another. You may also receive separate tracking information for individual packages.

Are the product photos exactly what I’ll receive?

We make every effort to represent our products accurately.

However, colors may appear slightly different depending on your screen, lighting, and display settings. Garment-dyed products may also show small natural variations in color and finish.

Product mockups and lifestyle images are intended to represent the overall appearance of the finished item, but minor variations may occur.
